J: Welcome to the neighborhood, think you will enjoy our more mild weather down here. Up on top of the plateau, with the good soil, was always just a good farming territory.
. However the Lookout river gorge area, lower mtn S.E. area goes back to Revolutionary war era with the British and the indians being driven from thnis area. "Trail of Tears" is the story to Search for. Still recalled each year with Cycle ride between states.
. 100 years later was Civil war battles, same gorge area, dams to tame the river navigation. Some rifle trench lines can still be seen in Reflection Riding" park, Lookout mtn area.
. Again you will ENJOY this area very much.
